ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Inner shell membrane The outer membrane sticks to the egg shell while the inner membrane sticks to the albumen. When an egg is first laid, it is warm. As it cools, the contents contract and the inner shell membrane separates from the outer shell membrane to form the air cell (see 14 below).

Detailed explanation-2: -The shell also has a thin outermost coating called the bloom or cuticle that helps keep out bacteria and dust. Lying between the eggshell and egg white, these two transparent protein membranes provide efficient defense against bacterial invasion. If you give these layers a tug, you’ll find they’re surprisingly strong.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eggshell membrane or shell membrane is the clear film lining eggshells, visible when one peels a boiled bird egg. Chicken eggshell membranes are used as a dietary supplement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outer & Inner Membranes Immediately after the shell are two membranes, the outer membrane and the inner membrane. These membranes guard the embryo from bacterial invasions and rapid moisture loss.
